27、me used to wearing masks in some circumstances.

28、icipants said those wearing a cloth mask were significantly more attractive than the ones with no masks or whose faces were partly covered by the book. But the blue medical mask made the wearer look even better. “At a time when we feel unprotected, we may find the wearing of medical masks safe and r

29、eliable and so feel more positive towards the wearer,”Lewis explained.Lewis said it was also possible that masks made people more attractive because they directed attention to the eyes. He said other studies had found that covering the left or right half of a face also made people look more attracti

30、ve, partly because the brain fills in the missing gaps and exaggerates the overall impact.The results of the first study have been published in the journal Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications.

35、 silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙)with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for un

36、derstanding a persons needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the per

37、son wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example,

However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, person

39、s in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their

40、own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patients silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily.
